Servlet File Upload Issue

[Ciarrai]

Hi,
I want to save a document on my local machine and then upload it to my Apache Tomcat file directory. I want to store the name and path in a mysql database and archive all the uploaded files.
I was wondering how best to tackle this problem using servlets? I know in ASP that the application of ABCUpload will handle the upload to the web server but I'm not quite so sure how it will work with servlets? OReilly have a multipart package...is this the easiest way? Any advice is greatly appreciated!

The oreilly multipart package is certainly a viable way of performing this action, however the terms of use are restricted to buying the &quot;Servlet Programming&quot; book by Jason Hunter. If you have bought this, then just use that. Else, you need to use the <file> html tag in your JSP/HTML file to upload the file, and then use the HttpServletRequest.getInputStream() to retrieve the file byte data.
